TYPES RECEIVER BUG FIXED, ARM64 COMPILER ISSUES PATCHED

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Go

The Go compiler lands three critical fixes overnight while gopls gains generic interface support and VS Code extension v0.54.0 ships with interactive code actions.

The types2 package fixed a violation of its Instances invariant where selector expressions on methods were dropping receivers [1], breaking the foundational contract that instantiating Uses[id].Type() with Instances[id].TypeArgs produces an equivalent of Instances[id].Type. This stashes the receiver in a new field checked at recording time. Simultaneously, cmd/compile shipped fixes for a right-shift miscompilation on ARM64 caused by a copy-paste error using 64-bit comparison for 32-bit shift values [2], and extended ADCQ and SBBQ to handle InvertFlags operations [3]. On the tooling front, gopls now supports generic interfaces in its stub method generation, properly instantiating type parameters from the LHS instead of inserting free variables [4], while the tools repo completed an internal restructuring moving internal/tool into gopls/internal/tool [5]. The VS Code extension released v0.54.0 with interactive code actions that prompt users for input before executing sophisticated refactorings like struct field tag manipulation and interface implementation [7], with v0.55.0 following as a pre-release identical build [8]. Routine dependency updates landed across tools [6], benchmarks [9], and perf [10] repos.
